3 Things You're Doing Wrong with Deer Minerals 

Did anyone else notice that the footage of them racking the soil is being played backwards so it looks like the dirt is magnetized to the garden hoe? if not look again its trippy.

Putting all that bait on the ground makes the deer consume dirt. In the dirt are the prion for CWD. DO NOT BAIT ON THE GROUND! Deer are a ruminant and eating dirt is a no no for any ruminant. Better to get an giant block of wood and put your salt block on top and the deer will chew the wood for years....thus consuming NO prions and spreading CWD.

It ain’t illegal if you don’t get caught🧐

Iodized Salt, Baking Soda, and Cherry Jello mix all dry when put out works like a charm. People think you have to buy all the fancy products to have deer come in but you dont. Deer travel up to 7 miles or more depending on if its a big buck or not. Where I live there is a multitude of food source, so as long as you have something that they really like they will keep coming back. Thats just my experience.

Dont yall think if its highly beneficial for your local deer herd to recieve minerals that its pretty stupid to outlaw it? No matter where your hunting location is. If it can only increase health of a herd then it should be legal no matter what. Just my opinion on the matter. God bless

Sounds like a promotional video for big& j to me...trace mineral blocks, bags, or just mix calicum, phosphate, can't remember percentage ratio...works very well or salt blocks....the deer will come if u keep the spot well supplied.

Better and cheaper to make your own mineral sites with dical phosphate and mix it with a bag of trace minerals, both available at your local farm coop.

Yeah I guess there's a lot of people out there doing everything wrong according to some of you people just do whatever works to attract deer corn works best for me

Lots of really good advice! Thanks- much appreciated…

Are their certain soil types that shouldn’t be used with mineral sites? Clay, sand, etc?

In reviewing this video ,first to be metabolized the elements need to be broken down to as small a size as possible. This is not done on this product. Do you know how long it takes for nuggets to break down and be absorbed in the omasum and abomasum ,They don't.. Much will be bypassed through. Its also calcium carbonate ,only about 18% absorption rate. Too low for deer. And you don't take dirt back into the pile.

Minerals are unrealistic for most of us though. Who can afford $30 a bag x4 or 5 sites? Not anyone I know. Each site with only 2 bags a week is $150. I have 4 or 5 sites. Im not trying to hate, it's just not feasible. Im in Canada and $30 is average price for a bag of minerals

I'm in new brunswick Canada these northern heards are more finicky and absolutely don't eat the same way the southern heards do, I've killed big bucks for 50 year's minerals in my area don't work vary well I've tested multiple thing's nothing beats a good bird seed including sunflower seeds and an occasional squash or apple , your observations focus on the lower 50 states alot , in Canada it's quite irrelevant they simply dont forage the same or like the same things , northern heards no what's best to digest and not to digest artificial shit does not cut it up hear.

Looks like Big & J puts magnet shards in their product. Look how that mineral jumps onto the hoe as they rake it 😂

my name is lewis odell i hunt in southeast texas i have had only two deer on the camera but i moved my feeder up my shooting lane to get in rang of stand and i filled feeder up on the 1st of september and it is the end of the month and sence i have been feeding corn i have not had any pics on camera sence ive started i dont know why corn is on the ground but im dumb founded . is it normal for them to take so long to find feeder.

This mineral is "prilled". Many minerals are. I recommend a weatherized mineral that won't wash away.

would you consider a mineral lick near oak trees?

Boy I'm glad somebody else saw the same thing going backwards

so threes only one thing mentioned about minerals in this video. i want my click back.....

I have land that is very odd and none of these videos help me!
